Happenings....

around here...

I've been busy busy trying to work, it's been tough because due to the blizzard. The schools are still closed, so my kiddos are home. Here's a snapshot of an inspiration board for a project presentation I recently finished up...It's sort of feminine glamour inspired with french details, and beautiful finishes such as a brass stair rail, marble, charcoal grey velvet, and antiqued mirror!

Here's a peek at a kitchen photo shoot I just had, we used a dense soapstone for the counter tops. It will stand up better to stains then regular soapstone. I was thrilled with the results!image: Sarah Winchester

Here are some fabrics for another project I'm working on. I spent last Wednesday at the Design Center. I'm not sure of the exact direction yet but I think we'll incorporate, camel, cream, and hermes orange for sure! I'm also still loving hand blocked and batik prints. This look would look gorge with white washed or pickled wooden floors!

And finally a snapshot my good friend took of her street. The coastal towns, including mine, were hard hit by Friday's storm. Everyone is hoping to have their power turned on soon. The poor linemen have been working night and day to restore power and order. I've never seen so many fallen trees in my life. In fact there's a large one laying in our front yard!

The Brown Faux Bois fabric - is that from Kelly W's line or where? - love that - also the coral fabric with the slim trees - love that - where is that from?I'm obviously in need of a day at ADAC/Atlanta's Design center!Thank youI enjoy your blog!

Hi Julie,I love the dense soapstone counter! I am in the midst of building a house and need to choose the kitchen counters as well as a large island counter. Any more images of the above soapstone one you did? The dk gray is great and refreshing to see a different color - everything seems to be light gray marble... Thanks!
